Country Blessings...When I think of that I think of the country but I also think of my blessings. God has blessed me in many ways everyday. I have been blessed with living in the country. I have been blessed with my husband and our children. I have been blessed with many Christian friends. I feel it is important to count our blessings everyday. I think if people would count their blessings everyday and thank God for them, the world would be a better place. I have such a good feeling when I think of the country and of all my blessings. Many don't feel they have many blessings. You'd be surprised once you start naming them just how many blessings you have. Here is a start you may have: Even though I have to wear glasses I have my sight. Even if I walk with a limp, I can walk. Even if I don't have a mansion, I have a house to call my own. Even if I don't have children at home any more I did have children or I work with children. Even if I have to get up and go to work, I have a job to go to...get the idea. Many of us see the negative. We need to see the positive because negative thoughts lead to negative actions. Positive thoughts lead to positive actions. Think of it this way: a negitive person always looks grumpy and a positive person has a smile on their face.
May God give you peace and comfort and may you remember to count your blessings.

I have been home schooling our children since 1992. My oldest graduated in May 2008 from Northern Kentucky College. My second oldest is still in college. I am still homeschooling my only son and youngest daughter. With many ups and downs both in home schooling and life in general we keep moving forward with the Lords guidance and strength. I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength. Phil. 4:13.
I am very busy with volunteering and helping where I can. I am a leader in our local American Heritage Girls Scouting Organization. My youngest daughter is in the American Heritage Girls and my son is in the Boy Scouts. I believe it is important to help others when you can but most important is family.
The 23rd Pslam is my favorite even though I have many favorites I know that when I recite or read the 23rd Pslam I feel such a closeness with God. I feel like this Pslam is a comfort for me like a childs security blanket. I am a Precious One to my Lord and he is with me always. I chose Precious One as my user name to remind me that in Gods sight I am His Precious One and to let you all know that your too are Precious to the Lord.
